Republican lawmakers rebuked the presidents of three elite universities during a House hearing Tuesday, accusing them of not doing enough to address the spike in antisemitism on their campuses.
“Institutional antisemitism and hate are among the poisoned fruits of your institutions’ cultures,” Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., told Liz Magill of the University of Pennsylvania, Claudine Gay of Harvard University and Sally Kornbluth of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
“The buck for what has happened must stop on the president’s desk, along with the responsibility for making ‘never again’ true on campus,” said Foxx, who chairs the Education and the Workforce Committee.
